Lost Season 5

[Poolzer]

The fifth season of the American serial drama television series Lost will commence tonight in the United States with a three-hour premiere consisting of a clip-show and two back-to-back new episodes. The remainder of the season will air on Wednesdays at 9:00 P.M. Lost is scheduled to return in the UK and Ireland on Sunday January 25, 2009 on Sky1 and RTÉ Two, respectively.

The season continues the stories of the survivors of the fictional crash of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815, after some of them are rescued and those still stranded seemingly disappear to an unknown location and time with the island that they inhabit.

According to Lost's co-creator/executive producer/writer/show runner Damon Lindelof, the season "is about why [the people who have left the island] need to get back". While the island stories of episodes of prior seasons were intercut with flashbacks or flashforwards of a featured character, the fifth season will be presented differently with part of each episode taking place off the island and the other part following characters on the island in a different time.

Season five follows two primary storylines. The first takes place on the island, which has been moved in both space and time by Ben, and focuses on the events that lead to Locke's death in 2007. The second takes place off the island following Locke's death and deals with Jack and Ben's attempt to reunite the Oceanic Six and return to the island with Locke's dead body.

Three sneak peeks of the January 21st "Premiere Event" have been officially released online and the first two are available on ABC's website. The first shows Kate and Aaron going on the run after Kate is ordered to submit a blood test to ascertain that she is Aaron's biological mother. The second shows Jack and Ben getting ready to attempt to bring the rest of the Oceanic Six back to the island. The third takes place on Penny's boat, with the Oceanic Six discussing the lie they will have to tell. A fourth one, which shows Sayid and Hurley being attacked at their safehouse by unknown forces, was shown during a re-broadcast of the Lost Season 4 finale on January 14, 2009. A fifth shows Jack and Ben preparing to load Locke's body into a van. A sixth shows Locke witnessing the crash of the Beechcraft, and a seventh shows Daniel asking to be taken to one of the DHARMA hatches after the remaining island survivors notice that the camp, along with all their things, is gone.

I'm liking the new season so far....but kind of disappointed to know it's all done after next year. I guess we'll finally get answers at that point.

This new season is really good so far. It's still exciting to watch every episode.

Not much talk after the finale, kinda shocked!

After it ended, I watched the 1st 4 again in a 3 week span and will re-watch this season again soon.

For those that followed this season, here is a glimpse of next season and its finale (no real spoilers unless you didnt watch the last few episodes of season5)
